I assume nobody has ever figured this out or that it hasn't been fixed yet?
Just upgraded my work Mac from Snow Leopard a couple weeks ago and iCal is seriously making me regret the decision. So many little bugs and annoyances, it's driving me up the wall but the inexplicable removal of multi-line text for an event description is just bizarre. Either it was done on purpose which makes no sense or it is a bug which begs the questions why it hasn't been fixed yet.
Anyone have a workaround for this? It's incredibly irritating.
